MaintenanceCare and CleaningFirst, remove the mains plug from the socket outlet.

■ Display panel, Cabinet, PedestalRegular care:

Gently wipe the surfaces of the display panel, cabinet, or pedestal using a soft cloth to clean the dirt or fingerprints.

For stubborn dirt:

First clean the dust on the surface. Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or diluted neutral detergent (1 part detergent to 100 parts water). Wring the cloth and wipe the surface. Finally, wipe away all the moisture.

= Caution = ● Do not use a hard cloth or rub the surface too hard, otherwise this may cause scratches on the surface.

● Take care not to subject the TV’s surfaces to water or detergent. Liquid inside the TV could lead to product failure.

● Take care not to subject the surfaces to insect repellent, solvent, thinner or other volatile substances. This may degrade surface quality or cause peeling of the paint.

● The surface of the display panel is specially treated and may be easily damaged. Take care not to tap or scratch the surface with your fingernail or other hard objects.

● Do not allow the cabinet and pedestal to make contact with a rubber or

- 175 -

PVC substance for a long time. This may degrade surface quality.
